WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve the pressure, always follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5.
Adjust the Spray Pattern
1. To adjust the spray pattern direction, relieve the
pressure. Engage the safety latch and loosen the
tip guard retaining nut. Turn the spray tip so the
groove is horizontal for a horizontal spray pattern,
and vertical for a vertical spray pattern. Tighten the
retaining nut.
2. The spray tip orifice size and spray angle deter-
mines the coverage and size of the pattern. When
more coverage is needed, use a larger spray tip
rather than increasing fluid pressure.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of an injection injury, never use
the gun with the tip guard or trigger guard removed.
CAUTION
Openings in the tip guard are designed to reduce
paint buildup on the guard while spraying. Any dam-
age to the sharp edges of the openings causes paint
to collect at that area. To reduce the risk of damage,
never hang the gun by the tip guard.
Operation
Cleaning and Clearing the Spray Tip
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of fluid injection or splashing in
the eyes or on the skin, do not hold your hand,
body, or a rag in front of the spray tip when clean-
ing or checking a clogged tip. Always point the gun
toward the ground or into a waste container when
checking to see if the spray tip is cleared. Relieve
the pressure before wiping vbuildup off the gun or
spray tip.
Clean off the front of the tip frequently during the day's
operation and at the end of the work day. Relieve the
pressure, then use a solvent soaked brush to clean
the spray tip and to keep fluid buildup from drying and
clogging the spray tip.
If the spray tip clogs while spraying, release the spray
gun trigger, engage the trigger safety, shut off the
pump, and relieve the pressure. Then remove the
spray tip and blow out the obstruction with air from the
front of the spray tip, or let the spray tip and gun
nozzle soak long enough to dissolve the obstruction. If
it won't dissolve, jar it out by tapping the back of the
spray tip against a flat surface.
Never soak the entire gun in solvent. Prolonged
exposure to solvent can ruin the packings.
